[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 68625, member: 10"] Ramses II, I just fitted one to a Lilja barreled 300 RUM and would not recommend bedding the rifle. When I fitted the barrel channel for the #8 Lilja barrel I found that the stock is simply what appears to be a painted injection molded stock. It looked and cut identically to the Savage factory synthetic stocks I have opened up. While the paint would help the epoxy bond better, the paint may well seperate from the stock under stress. The rifle I mentioned printed groups in the mid .3" range without bedding and that was with a 30" barrel hanging off the end of the receiver totally floated. They are much stiffer then the factory stocks but I feel this is more design then materials used to make them. One thing to always remember with the savage rifles and bedding them. Even if you do not bed the stock, make certain that the rear receiver tang does not touch the stock. This is critical to get top accuracy in the Savage rifles. The stock I fitted contacted very solidly and so it was slightly milled out to float the tang. You do not want much behind the rear action screw touching the stock. Good Shooting!!
